How quickly will I see the benefits of softened water and will existing scale be removed?
After installation cold softened water should be available throughout your home immediately. The type of heating system you have will determine how quickly hot water becomes soft. Softened water is gently aggressive and is guaranteed to remove all existing scale and hard water staining throughout your home. In many cases the crud around taps, blocked up shower roses and stains around baths and basins will begin to be removed within a few weeks. The quality of the softened water will not be compromised. Thicker deposits will take longer to remove. In some cases this may take several months or even years. No leaks should occur. Scale is porous. Any leak would appear regardless of whether the water is hard or soft.
